The Big Ten revealed every team’s home and away conference opponents for the 2026-27 season on Tuesday evening, and the Wisconsin Badgers have quite the schedule for next year.
Wisconsin will bring five ranked opponents (from the final AP Top 25 poll) to the Kohl Center next year, including three top-10 opponents. In addition, they will face three teams twice: Iowa, Minnesota, and Illinois.
Here is the full list of the Badgers’ home and away conference opponents next season.
Home: Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oregon, Penn State, Purdue, Washington
Away: Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan State, Minnesota, Northwestern, Ohio State, Rutgers, UCLA, USC
At first glance, Wisconsin will have a ton of exciting matchups at home next year. Purdue, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, and Nebraska were all in the top half of the Big Ten standings this past year and advanced to at least the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament.
Indiana has also revamped their roster, making for another intriguing matchup there, while Washington will hope for a bounce-back year.
On the road, Wisconsin gets Illinois and Iowa there again, while Minnesota always proves to be a tough out. The road schedule isn’t nearly as daunting as the home schedule, with UCLA being the most difficult matchup outside of Illinois and Iowa.
Specific dates, times, and television designations will be released later this summer.
